Hydromer, Inc. Announces the release of a new Abrasion
Resistant Anti-Fog Coating.The new ABRATE-X518TM
coating brings innovative technology to the growing consumer and industrial
market.

Branchburg, March 21, 2016,---Hydromer, Inc. (HYDI, otc US) announces the release of a substantial
technological advancement in abrasion resistant anti-fog coatings. This specialty coating will be marketed under
the “ABRATE-X518 TM” brand.

Hydromer invested over 5 years of research and development in the scientific development of an anti-fog coating that would exceed the current industry requirements and expectations of abrasion resistance.Manufacturers of such products as swim goggles, ski goggles, motorcycle and snow-mobile helmet visors, etc., have long been searching for a lens coating that would provide durable anti-fog prevention as well as resist the normal consumer created wear-and-tear.

A few coating suppliers have launched some abrasion resistant anti-fog coatings, but these would only be tested using a “sand-drop” test or a “steel wool” test.The Hydromer management team chose to greatly exceed the performance of these tests by using a “Grinding Wheel”!The Hydromer ABRATE-X518 coating was created to survive the brutal exposure of a Taber Abrator Machine (ASTM-1044-08) to 100 cycles using a 500 gram grinding wheel!

“We are
extremely proud to present this new coating technology to a global market that
has long been frustrated by the durability issues that are prevalent with
anti-fog coatings.”, commented Martin von Dyck,
Executive Vice President of Hydromer, Inc., adding, “The Hydromer Team met this
engineering/chemical challenge and did so with the environment and user safety
in mind. The ABRATE-X518 TM is water based, non-flammable and a one
part chemical coating.”
